Call
for Papers-Women & Religion: Doctrinal, Historical & Social
Perspectives
20 November 2010 University of Bristol, UK
Keynote speaker: Dr. Carolyn Muessig, Reader in Medieval Religion, University
of Bristol
This interdisciplinary conference seeks to bring together doctoral researchers
and early career academics from a variety of disciplines and fields to explore
the role and place of women in religion encouraging research and collaboration
in the University of Bristol itself, and with other Universities both within
the UK and abroad.
The research on women and religion is often divided by religious tradition or
academic field, and often occurs at the margins of academic discourse and
practice. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to expand the focus of
research by sharing approaches and perspectives in different religious
traditions and in different academic fields.
We are now accepting abstracts for the 3 panels running at the conference, each
consisting of three 20 minutes papers. Contributions are welcome from any
perspective: theological, historical, anthropological, sociological,
archaeological, etc. as long as the paper deals centrally with the theme of one
of the following panels:
We are also accepting submissions of posters, to be composed in A1 format
(594x841 mm, 23.39x33.1 in). Six posters (two for each of the above themes)
will be selected to be exhibited at the conference venue. Poster authors will
have the opportunity to discuss their work with participants during tea and
lunch breaks.
Please send your abstracts of 500 words or less and posters, both in .pdf
format to Jinho Fashi (thzmc@bristol.ac.uk)
AND Massimo Rondolino (m.rondolino@bristol.ac.uk).
The
deadline for receipt of abstracts and posters is 10 September 2010.
It is hoped that an edited volume arising from Conference proceedings will be
published after the event.
Participation to the conference is free, and includes lunch and refreshments.
Some help may also be available to assist speakers and poster presenters with
travel expenses.
